GARMENT SLEEVE Application filed November 6, 1929. Serial No. 405,171.

This invention relates to garments, more particularly to the sleeves of coats, and has for its'object to provide, in a manner as here inafter set forth, a coat sleeve provided with means to enable expeditiously increasing the length of thesleeve when occasion requires.

A further object of the invention isto provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a coat sleeve provided with an outlet member permitting of the length of the sleeve being increased when it is so desired.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a coat sleeve provided with an outlet member which is simple in its construction and'arrangement, strong, durable, normally in a non-extended position, arranged in a manner to prevent a noticeable bulge when in nonextended position, thoroughly eflicient in its use, capable of being extended to increase 7 the length of the sleeve, readily installed with respect to the sleeve, and comparatively inexpensive to set up.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of a coat sleeve, broken away and showing the adaptation therewith of an outlet member in accordance with this invention and with the member in a non-extended position.

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the outlet member in extended position thereby increasing the length of the coat sleeve.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view in section looking towards the inner face of the sleeve and showing the outlet member in non-extended position.

The outlet member is formed of its body of less thickness than that ofthe cloth or fabric from which the sleeve is formed. The length of the strip corresponds to the combined Width of the sections of the sleeve When the sections are stitched together only at one lengthwise edge thereof, also the strip is of a length corresponding to the width of a single len h of material employed to form the sleeve be ore the lengthwise edges of the material are secured together to pro vide the sleeve structure.

As illustrated the sleeve 1 is of the liningless type and is formed at its outer end with aninturned fold 2, which is a continuation of the material forming the sleeve body. The

fold 2 is not secured directly to the inner face of the sleeve body.

Arranged within the sleeve 1-, a substantial distance from the outer end thereof and projecting inwardly with respect to the fold 2, isan outlet member referred to generally at 3 and which corresponds in length to the width of fold 2. c

The outlet member 3, as ,before stated, is formed of a length of thin fabric and is formed with a pair of end folds 4, 5. The fold 4 is positioned against the inner face of the sleeve 1, at a point removed from the edge 6 ofthe latter, the edge being provided by the bend between the body of the sleeve and the fold 2. The fold 5 is arranged against the outer face of the fold-2 at the marginal portion thereof adjacent the free edge offold 2. The fold 5 is of less width than the width of the fold 4. y

The member 3 further includes an extend.- ible, intermediate portion which is normally in a non-extended position. The extendible arectangular length of thin fabric and preferably has part8 is indicated at 10. The bend between coupling part 8 and fold 7 is indicated at 1'1.

The bend between fold 7 and coupling part 9is indicated at 12. The bend between fold and coupling part 9 is indicated at 13.

A rowof stitching is employed for con I D the form of a strip of fabric for positioning necting the member 3 to the sleeve body 1 and said row is indicated at 14 and is positioned in proximity tothe' bend 10. The arrangement of the row'of stitching Moon'- nects part 8' to the fold 4 and the fold 4 to the sleeve body 1.

The parts 8 and 9 and fold 7 are detachably connected together by a row of stitching and whichis-positioned in proximity to the bend 12and-extendsthrough part9 in proximity to its top, fold 7 V in proximity to its top d p t, 8 substanatially at the longitudinal center thereof. a 1

7 The member 3 1s permanently secured to the fold 2 by a row of stitching 16 and the latter is positioned in proximity to the bend 13.

The row of stitching 16 extends through the I part9, fold 5, fold 2 and is arranged in close proximity to the bottom'of part 9, bottom" of fold 5 and a substantial distance from the free edge of fo1d'2. The row of stitching 14 permanently secures the outlet member 3 against the inner face'of the sleeve body 1 a substantial distance above the free edge of the fold 2.

.The extendible portlon provided'by'the fold 7 and parts8and9isreferredto generally 6 over one of the end folds of. said pair, a

at 17, Figure 4:. The portion 17 as shown in Figured is as when extendedand which is 15 1s severed't-o release the connecting 0f the part 9 with the fold 7 and the connecting of the fold 7 with the part 8. v

The-width of the parts 8 and 9 and fold 7 can be as desired. When the portion 17 is released the body of the sleeve can be extended a distance corresponding to the width of the portion 17, or in other words, the sleeve can have an outlet corresponding to rovided for when the row of stitching inner face of the coat sleeve at a point removed from the free end of said inwardly extending fold, means for permanently se-, i

curing the other end fold of said pair to said inwardl extending fold in proximity to the free en thereof, and'means for releasably securing said coupling parts and inner fold together whereby when released the length of within the sleeve a substantial distance from Y the outer end of the latter and formed with an inner and-an outer end fold, said inner,

end fold adapted to. be permanently secured to the'sleeveat a point remote from the free end of the latter, said outer end fold ada ted to be permanently secured. to the fold o the sleeve, said strip includin 7 an intermediate portion opposing the end olds thereof, said portion'formed'of an inner fold, a coupling part extended from the latter to said inner end fold'and a'couplin partextending from the inner fold to sai outer end fold, said inner fold and coupling parts being releasablysecured together inabutting relation.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.

fine the width of the extendible portion 17 of the outlet member.

What I claim is: a 1. The combination with a coat sleeve havingan inwardly extending fold at its inner end free of connection with the inner face thereof, of an outlet member formed of a pair of end folds, an inner fold arranged coupling partconnecting one of the end folds of said pair to the inner fold, a coupling part connecting said inner fold to the other end fold of the pair, means for permanently securing one of the end folds of'the pair to the JOSEPH ASP'ELQ.
